So Kylie and I left Eric at the campground early this morning and we took the shuttle over to Hershey Park. Because we were staying at a Hershey property, we got to enter the park 1 hour before opening. We didn't find out until the shuttle ride over that although we got to enter the park, only the 1st section was open during that hour which included some kiddie rides and The Comet, one of the roller coasters. Kylie made me ride the Comet with her 3 times before the park even opened....then it was off into the park. We rode on "The Claw" next and Kylie met Julie, we ended up tagging along with Julie and her family for the day, until we left the park around 6:30 and headed back to the campground. I think Eric thought we would return in the early afternoon but that didn't happen. He enjoyed his quiet day though I am sure of it.
Kylie w/ the Reese's character shortly after entering the park. Kylie didn't really want her picture taken today so consequently we didn't get many...that and the fact that Eric was not with us meant that I needed to carry a small camera that could get wet just in case we ended up on a water ride.
This is Kylie, Hershey kiss dude, Julie and her brother Kyle. They got to ride almost all the rides all day with very little wait time, with the exception of the newest roller coaster "fahrenheit" which had over an hour wait for most of the day. Most rides though had little to no lines which allowed for consecutive rides...which would just make me dizzy but they enjoyed it.
This is our site at the Hershey Highmeadow Campground where Eric spent his day. He finally got to take the chairs off the back and actually sit in them...we are usually moving so fast with so little time between stops that most of the time they are just decorations riding on the back. He didn't admit it but I think he really missed us while we were gone...towards the end of the day he was checking in often to see where we were...then he played basketball with Kylie while I prepared dinner (well, I dialed the phone number for pizza delivery)...I was tired...then we hunkered down to watch the Celtics/Lakers game...I couldn't make it to the end of the game...I fell asleep. But I did hear this morning that they won and Kylie was able to make it all the way through and see the end of the game.
